Center for Immigration Studies


 * The Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) is an independent, non-partisan, non-profit research organization founded in 1985. It is the nation's only think tank devoted exclusively to research and policy analysis of the economic, social, demographic, fiscal, and other impacts of immigration on the United States.

WARNING: This center is actually a think tank directly connected to the anti-immigration advocacy group FAIR (Federation for American Immigration Reform) and is aligned with the conservative magazine National Review. "CIS has also been critiqued as being part of a network of anti-immigrant groups that cater to a white supremacist constituency by right-wing economic libertarians who believe in the benefits of mass and unfettered immigration."
